Chapter 2
“Well, no, obviously, but don’t tell me you’re not interested in what it feels like.” It was as if Tom was possessed by a higher power – or highly drugged – stuck in a state of euphoria. His eyes shone as if he was talking about the greatest of treasures.
“Tom, just because you’ve achieved a lot in your life already, and are now bored stiff with yourself, doesn’t mean there’s nothing left to do. You’ve only just well begun your journey.” James tried his best again
“You didn’t answer my question because you want it too, don’t you? And you don’t want to share it with me, yet you have the nerves to call yourself my father.”
“For fuck’s sake, Tom, listen to yourself! You haven’t even had a whiff of it and it’s already taken over you! And of course I want to know, who wouldn’t? But it’s not about that! It’s about passing it on, if it is even going to be needed! We don’t even know yet if the dome will collapse or not when Fishnick dies, and you’re already trying to claw your way to the riches.”
“I-…”
“Shut the fuck up! I don’t want to hear another word about this, okay? Not until you get ahold of yourself. You’re acting like a 5 year old kid who wants candy. Besides, Ducköden already gave us powers and since I don’t feel much different now that he’s taken them away, I don’t think having a bit more would make that much of a difference.” Not even James believed his own words. He and Tom both knew the difference between the power Ducköden had given them and the power Fishnick possesses was several magnitudes - certainly not only a bit.
"Bored stiff"

So happy to have you join the journey of freewriting! :D
And yes, there's numerous creative gems to be found round the freewriting block! It's amazing what the mind does when you just let it run free. :D
I was immediately immersed in your story! Your use of description and dialogue I aspire to achieve. I chuckled here a bit:
Thanks for the morning smile.
Take care!
Thank you so very much for the kind words! It means a lot to me! <3
Hahhaa :D Wanted to describe the phenomenon when a certain person just "lights up" when they speak about something they really like/want :D
You too! Thanks for stopping by! :D
I enjoyed it a lot! You're very welcome!
and so the power struggle continues, youth-v-age and/or wisdom-v-naivety. Has your sub conscious already decided who will win or are you waiting for today’s prompt?

To be quite honest, I believe whatever decision they reach now is going to at least be questioned again when it is time to actually do it. so for today, I have no idea yet. :p
Thank you for the prompt! :D
